As far as I can read, Arnold D. Robbins is just waiting for the 3.2 release to
put it in for real.
The pro, is that it will help awk programmers to get aquaninted with the
function, and of course to use that function instead of writing a ton on
else-if code.
On the other hand, it could brake code, if the coders have a user
defined switch function, but this (i hope) is quite unlikely.
Whould you like me to dig in to this matter a bit further?

8. C-style switch statements are available, but must be enabled at
compile time via `configure --enable-switch'. For 3.2 they'll be
enabled by default. Thanks to Michael Benzinger for the initial
code.
Whould you like me to dig up on the why a little further?
